Implement backend fixes to improve search accuracy, recall, and result consistency, including issues involving field-scoped queries and query-parser processing. Troubleshoot and support application deployments across distributed environments using Docker, Kubernetes, and GitOps. Used Git, Azure DevOps, IntelliJ IDEA, Postman, and Gradle for development, API testing, debugging, version control, and deployment workflows.
